What is the answer for - 3 (2+4x) = ?

Answer: 22

Step-by-step:

2-4x=22

One solution was found:

x = - 5

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

2-4*x - (22) = 0

Step by step solution:

Step 1:

Pulling out like terms:

1.1 Pull out like factors:

-20 - 4x = - 4 • (x + 5)

Equation at the end of step 1:

Step 2:

Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : - 4 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x+5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

x = - 5

One solution was found:

x = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (2+4x)

= (3) (2+4x)

= (3) (2) + (3) (4x)

=6+12x

=12x+6
